THE GARCIA INVESTIGATION.

The Mexican minister, Mr.. hOm6rO,
has caused an investigation to be made
of the statement published about a
month ago in the shape of a telegram
from Tuscon, AriZ., to the effect that
one Jose De Garcia, an American citi-
zen, had been imprisoned by the pre-
feet of Safuripara, Sonora, because he
would not vote for the latter in an
election. MIR. Romero has just received
report from the Safuripara Project
stating that band of robbers having
been for some time last April lurking
around the village he raised for the
purpose of watching them some men,
among whom was this Garcia, who re-
fused in a very insolent manner
/ to perform the required service, but
/ without divulging his foreign nation
1 atty; that he was therefore sentenced
| to pay % fine or to go to Jail for a
/ week; that Garcia having preferred the
latter was imprisoned for eight DAYS
and when his sentence expired was
| ordered to watch and guard some pris-
oneTs, a service which he refused Il
perform on the ground that he was al
| American citizen. This was a fact en-
tirely new to The Project, who haC
known Garcia for two years as a resi-
dent of the place, but had never hearC
anything about his citizenship. Garci;
being the aggrieved party, he has tn
right to instigate a civil suit agains
